Friday night I attended the opening of Linda Anderson’s solo show at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden Colorado. Her painted figures and exquisite machine quilting was so impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This huge piece above was shown for this first time in this show, and I encourage you to see it in person before January 17. The show must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ode to Joy” – 101″ wide x 67″ high<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Statement:
At 14,000 feet in the Andes of Peru, these weavers from the village of Acopia were taking the photographer Joe Coca to document one of the elders at a sacred lake up in the mountains. While waiting for potatoes to be roasted for lunch, they decided to start up a game of soccer. No brand name soccer apparel, but there were beautiful traditional textiles to score a goal in. I was captured, captivated, entranced and enthralled by their unbridled joy. That is the human story I wanted to tell….pure delight in the moment. Such exuberance in being alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The background design is based on traditional Peruvian weaving patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired from photographer Joe Coca, permission granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand painted cottons, raw edge applique, hand embroidery, bamboo batting, freemotion stitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see below, I have a fairly dense travel schedule in November. I hope to see many of you at one of these events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
